introduct ion
As designers, we possess a dynamic array of creative problem-solving skills. I believe that we have an obligation to use these abilities for the betterment of our communities, not only through the making of buildings, but also through the promotion of healthy relationships with environmental and social contexts. At multiple scales -- from addressing broad issues of sustainability to navigating the everyday challenges of a design process -- I am enthusiastic about collaborating with fellow designers to develop the simplest and most elegant solutions.
Through my work, I hope to contribute to positive changes in our environment.
Thank you for taking the time to look over this brief work sample.

I worked with nine fellow architecture students over the course of a year to provide full design-build services to the small farmers project of Eugene, Oregon. The group of farmers needed a tractor shed, cooler, and vending stand for their organic berry farm. Since they were renting the land, the building needed to be deconstructable. When the farmers move, they will move the structure with them. We completed this complex project on schedule, under budget, and with the majority of expenses covered by donations and grants.

We spent three months in predesign, meeting with our client frequently to solidify a scheme. Then came three months of design development in a studio environment, during which we finalized the details of the design, researched and budgeted for materials, and produced construction documents. We spent the next six months prefabricating and assembling the deconstructable shed. This collaborative design and construction process allowed each team member to gain valuable experience in all phases of the project. We learned how to operate and thrive in a team environment.

HUMBOLDT COMMUNITY SPACEALBERTA+VANCOUVER
I worked with five other graduate students to provide planning and zoning analysis and recommendations for the development of a block in the north Portland Humboldt neighborhood, on the intersection of N. Alberta and N. Vancouver ave. Our client, the North Portland Bible College, owns the land and wants to develop it in order to create a revenue source and a venue for their activities. Over the course of 2.5 months, we gathered zoning information and conducted site analysis in order to provide the North Portland Bible College with a compilation of information and recommendations for developing the site.

In the city’s center, a public plaza leads to a garden for Junction City: a place where indoor and outdoor are enjoyed together, where people can collaborate to grow their own food, and where Junction City comes together and comes alive.

In order to minimize concentrated impact on the site’s habitat, construction can be carried out in three phases. First, path and boardwalk construction would allow visitors to explore the site without disturbing the delicate forest floor. Following this, foundations and, finally, the structures and enclosure could be installed.
